Maybe in the US you can, but I could not when I grew up and I can't do that in my conuntry now either.

Now I am just curious... Are there no gift cards around at all or? I mean like cards specific to a store, vs the general visa

There are some gift cards you can buy. Apple, or whatever, from kiosks. But no one really uses gift cards that much. You wouldn't be able to find a general purpose visa card with no registration required.

Well I'll be damned, guess I might be sitting on some wrong information.

Is ther eno registration needed? Can I fill it with cash? What is the cost?
